    Could also be psoriasis - I get eczema on my legs etc, but psoriasis all through my scalp, and generally some pretty persistent patches where my ears join my scalp. Tends to get worse either in winter when it's cold and damp, or in summer when really humid.

    Thank you so much everyone.

    Kim- Great to know what the substance is. I can imagine it would sting and hurt as it looks sore.

    Lady-Tess- We use goats milk soad as well as DD has sensitive skin like me and DF. It is lovely on the skin. I think I need to do something about shampoo.

    Lisa- That scalp care stuff sounds good. I might have to get some!

    I have tried to keep her hair up but because she has curly ringlet type hair and lots of it, little bits of hair seem to get stuck in it while the seepy stuff dries. Then we have to try and get the hair out which causes it to break open. I did this today by dampening the area in hope the hair would come away and she freaked when I went near it, then did a big scratch at it in agitation to get me away from it and gave herself the biggest fright as it must have stung really badly as she took the whole scab off. Just felt so sorry for her
